HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

CPR in three simple steps

1. CALL

Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, Call 911 and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions.

2. BLOW

Tilt the head back and listen for breathing. If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second.

3. PUMP

If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.


CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 30 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES
NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person & two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Non sono d'accordo... non sono cose che devono fare chiunque, si possono fare più danni che altro a fare un massaggio mal fatto o peggio, senza che ce ne sia effettiva necessità...
...
... Red Cross???

se capita una situazione del genere e chiami il 118 il dottore della centrale ti spiega come farlo. Quindi e' meglio che tutti abbiano gia' un idea piu' precisa, ogni secondo e' importante. Se l'ossigeno rimane per troppi minuti senza ossigeno, si rischia di rimanere vegetali. che forse e' peggio...
red cross e' piu' conosciuta all'estero invece che green cross.
